📝 Description: We Lived in Heaven: Spiritual Accounts of Souls Coming to Earth

There have been many books published about the near-death experience where people die and then are revived after visiting another realm. This book covers another part of that spiritual spectrum, the pre-birth experience. Author Sarah Hinze has compiled dozens of uplifting and remarkable accounts of parents and families who have had the opportunity to meet the souls of their sons and daughters before they were born. These souls share that we are all eternal spirits who lived in a realm of light and beauty before coming to earth. The book also shares stories of the vivid memories of that realm as recounted by young children, and the dramatic stories of prayers answered by the guardian angels who watch over us. Sarah's own story of her experiences with her children gives fascinating insight into the fact that earth life is not the beginning of our existence. Sarah has spent more than two decades researching near-birth experiences, and she has become widely recognized as the foremost expert in this field.

Occult literature desk
Hinze’s compilation offers a gentle, narrative-driven exploration of pre-birth existence that may delight those already inclined toward esoteric beliefs. However, readers preferring rigorous academic analysis or empirical scientific proof will likely find the reliance on anecdotal evidence and spiritual assertions insufficient. Skeptics who demand logical deduction over subjective testimony may feel alienated by the text’s faith-based approach. It is not suited for hardline materialists or those seeking a structured theological doctrine. The book shines best for its intended audience: believers in reincarnation and spiritual continuity who enjoy heartwarming, albeit unverified, stories of soul preparation.

Worth the read

Was skeptical at first. It's become a regular reference in my practice. Not a light read, but far more accessible than I feared. Delivery took a bit longer than quoted. Recommended with reservations.

📜 Historical context
